Has anyone been contacted by a man calling himself Antonio Johnson with the email mademan222@hotmail.com. Just trying to figure out if I’m being scammed. He has not asked me for money however the things that he is telling me about his life and what he is going thru right now are very similar to the stories I am reading on here. No I have not met him yet. We were supposed to meet and then he had to go out of the country to check on his ailing mother. Please let me know before I get too invested. Thanks

Has anyone been contacted by a man named Alic Fisher?
He claims he’s on a project in Africa but will be coming to Canada soon.
He is talking to my mother but has not yet asked her for money.
My mom says they send detailed romantic emails , texts and he has called her a few times but can never talk for long. My mom is older and is crazy about this man who’s a few years younger than her. He is promosing Her the world and I just think he’s a fraud.
She met him on Zoosk .. claims he’s a widow and has no kids.

Did any current or former member of Zoosk.com had any chatting or interacted with username “Martinez” on Zoosk.com Claiming to be a 43 year old Hispanic Female from Aurora, Illinois? is that username is a spam bout or scammer?

Larry Watson is a scammer on zoosk.com. He says he is on an oil rig in the middle of the sea. He sweet talks for a few weeks then ask you to set up a bank account so he can deposit money for a part he needs to buy for the oil rig…ha ha not even a good story.

‘Kungfuguy’ with his fake name Chad Edward born in 17th June 1968, mrukfinest@hotmail.com, 07708677518 is a scammer. He put his real photos on the website but his ID and stories are all lies: He put himself as a barrister(QC) and going to be a senior judge by the end of this year. He was a half Jamaican and a half Italian (didn’t look Italian at all though). He was born and spent childhood in Jesolo in Italy but moved to Brixton at the age of 11. He went to Cambridge Uni at the age of 17 and had PhD in Law. Before he became a barrister he was in the military doing secret operations in dirrent countries such as South Africa, Afganistan, Hong Kong, Japan, etc. He told me he divorced in 2012 after being cheated by his ex wife and has 2 daughters called Jessica(19) and Louise(15).
He made me buy everything and including an expensive mobile phone. He forced me to give him some cash as a probation period and told me if I pass the probation, he would give me the money back but if not he would give the money to the charity – of course nothing came back.
He took some cash from me for the trip to Italy and for exchange to EUR – no such trip had been organised.
He took my laptop from my home without me noticing – domestic theft
He became very ill so I phoned NHS but his details were not recognised.
I asked him why NHS did not recognise, his lie was because he was politically protected and his information was accesible to the certain levels of the doctors only. He didn’t let me call an ambulance.
He sent himself to St George’s hospital on 6th August and sent me the photo of himself lying on the bed.
I suspected his fake ID at the early stage but was not brave enough to face him or investigate properly.
He changed his mobile number and disappeared after I said I know what you are doing.
One truth is he is diabetic. He has to inject insulin every morning 14units and evening 12units.

His real name is Colin Edwards, husband of 21 years to Veronica Edwards. He lives in East Croydon and has 2 daughters, the names he gave you are their middle names. He works for either Lloyds or TSB bank as a personal manager. He was declared bankrupt in 2011. He has at least 5 women on the go at any one time, including his unsuspecting wife. I was in a relationship with him for nearly 3 years and his lies were endless…each of his siblings died at least twice. He raised his hands on my children, hence the relationship breakdown. The only truth is that he is indeed diabetic. Stay away from this man at all costs…he will take you for every penny you possess and then leave you high and dry, your purpose served.

I’m aware of his real name because I employed a private investigator. His wife has since divorced him. I’m unsure whether they still live in the same house. He didn’t steal from me but he was physically and mentally abusive towards me and my 3 children…we were terrified of him. He came to visit me a year ago, expected me to take him back but he makes my skin crawl.

Can you please tell me who is the man in those photos i fell in love with him I did look up in Scammers.com there is a GeorgeO.Brown Scammer in Lagos Nigeria white male very handsome but not him.I did do my own investigation George did say he had a niece name Cheryl opperman Brown well he said his niece was 20 years old o r 19 years old one or the other.But this Cheryl is the only one from Jacksonville Illionous.She was on Zoosk i saw her picture in FB at bottom of her picture it says Zoosk.She has a boyfriend named Antonio Johnson who is 43 years old.He also was on Zoosk i really do think it was him who was scamming me.pretending he and his nephew who is 31/2 years old are in Lagos Nigeria he claims he was robbed twice having a hard time .Antonio Johnson FBsays he has been in relationship with Cheryl since 2012.But i want to know who that man is in the photos he sent from Zoosk.What is his name?Where is from ?Thank you Susan Circh

Has anyone been contacted by a Wayne George? He is suppose to be from Chicago. Never less on a business trip in Manilla. I heard of the show Catfish and did a pic search for a friend who he is talking to. The pic search showed a man from Colorodo. I want to hep my friend so she doesn’t get scammed or hurt. Please email me at daigen_enterprises@msn.com if anyone has had any issues with this man. I feel like something is wrong.

He did the same thing to me recently. When I told him no he promised he was coming home so we could be together. After I confronted him about it he insisted it wasnt himm. He was sick and he couldnt of done it. After I called him a liar I never heard from him again

Please beware of fraud at Zoosk. An eastern national is impersonating an US ARMY Brigade general. I researched and found the real general on facebook, same face, photo..a happily married officer. I emailed the fraudulent imposter and warned him that in USA impersonating a military officer is a crime with jail sentence. I am filing a claim with my credit card company to get my money back from Zoosk.

Oh yes he attempted to extort money from me, but I was much to clever..I had fun playing with his mind!!! Shane Hart do we really know who he is? I tried to google his picture but I had no luck. I played his game but seriously women a guy doesn’t confess his love in a week.

I don’t know if this person is still Seeking love162 He posts a picture of a white man later i found out that he is black and from Nigeria Watch out ladies he is part of a scam he says he is from L.A Also he helping his friend get on to meet people Watch out ladies

Ladies, watch out for a cooper Richardson..I wasn’t even on zoosk ,he just popped up. His profile was the same as mine almost.widower 10yr ,23yr daughter med student, parents killed when he was a child, .lives in LA,self employed.. asked for money Wk2.I asked him to buy me a car. You know what, he asked again!!
Steph

Diane, I sure wish we could find him, after I went on google after him, when I found out about it, and I posted the silly messages to him, I knew I would get a response,. he came back online to me telling me someone stole his idenity, and he had not taken any money from me or anyone else,and everyone was lying on him, then he tells me how much he loves me , right? he thinks I am stupid, I was a fool for a year,he said we would be married before christmas, and sent me the most beautiful poems, he sure is a smooth operator, after I posted on here he must have seen it he has sent me a coupla of messages but I can not pin him down, if I ever do he will go to jail where he belongs. beware of him trying to reach you using another name, I think he is trying that on me now, when I find out for sure will let you know , hang in there lady , keep the faith and help me get him.

I met Jaron Eddie on zoosk, He says he is a General surgeon with the peacekeeping forces in Iraq, he told me the same story he told the other lady I read about, I lost 300.00 dollars but he had me wire it Nigeria to a man who would bring his parcel out supposed to be money recovered in Iraq. I have my reciepts and proof I sent it plus emails and everything I need, he never gave me a phone number or address to reach him, for security reasons he said. he posted a site on google is how I caught up with him, lost a year of my life being taken in, he is good at what he does, I made so many problems for him on google he took the site down . he had 9 women in his circle, one lady, had a friend who said he took her for thousands of dollars, at the same time he was promising me i was his one and only..ladies beware of him , he is a smooth operator.

Claimed to be a Cardiovascular surgeon in the peacekeeping areas with the UN. Was called to a summit in the UK and then immediately shipped to Chad without being able to come home and say good bye to his kids or get any money. He carries no credit cards or cash with him when he travels since it is so dangerous. He fell in “love” with me immediately and can’t wait to see me. His phone dropped in a puddle while trying to take pictures to show me he was really where he said he is and now his phone won’t work. Wants me to send him a new Iphone 6 plus and other “stuffs”. He uses the phone number 2034080514. This Please do not send him anything if he contacts you. I have contacted Zoosk to tell them about him and hopefully have him removed.

The user PATTY is not true, she is the scammer here, she was rejected by a man and the only way to get back to him was to go on internet campaign. Here is one of Her communications with Mr. Backer:
Dear Dearest Henry,

I have been reaching out to you through Carlos and through E-mails over the last several weeks. Ever since Carlos told me that you had a sick, my heart has been so distraught with pain not knowing how you are doing.

Today I called to find out how you were doing and Carlos told me that you were doing better but he told me that he has not told you that I have been calling about you. He feels that with all of the stress that you have been under that caused your sick and since I am relatively new in your life that I need to stop calling. He thinks that at this point you do not need to have an additional emotion’s.

I don’t feel that way – I think that if you knew I was trying to reach you that you would know how much I loved and missed you even putting a smile on your face.

I can not explain to you how much my heart is crushed by his request. I can not stop crying since he suggested that to me. I am not sure that I can just cease any contact with you. I know that we have met once, but we have talked, shared, e-mailed each other that I really did develop a strong feeling of LOVE for you and thought that maybe we might be together.

He recommended that I wait until you get better and let you decide if you want to reach out to me. I am not sure how that would work if you think that during a difficult time for you that I just walked out on you. I DO NOT WANT TO WALK AWAY FROM YOU – EVER.

I don’t even know that you will ever get these e-mails if they are trying to avoid me contacting you in any way. I hope they do, so that you will know how much I love you, miss you and wish you well. I beg of you to contact me when you are up to it, please, my heart is breaking! In the meantime, I will still pray for your recovery and your return to me.

I was contacted by JaydenJack756@yahoo.com said he was from LA and was divorced and looking for love etc. He was going to malaysia to settle his parents estate. Never asked for money but I found him listed on Pig Busters as being a verified scam artist.

Has anyone had dealings with a Michael Chapman who claims to be a retired Navy Pilot, widowed, 22 year old daughter studying in Austraila? He has given me a phone number and we talk but his accent is the most bizarre. He says its a Liverpool accent but it changes. Says he lives in Dahlonega GA and he is expecting to lose millions of his father’s inheritance from shares in a company in Greece? He hasn’t asked me for money yet, but I am thinking that’s coming next.

Beware of RED SWIFT .. she said she needed money to pay her bosses back . so that she could leave . She said she was from san jose calif . sent pics .. instant meassanger but she is a total lier and scammer ..

If you paid him money you need to produce the prove and let the world see if you are telling you the truth or if all you have said are just lies because he rejected you..STOP TELLING THE PUBLIC LIES

My freind got scammed by a man on Zoosk.
The picture he sent her was a good looking white male in his 40s.
He said he was a CEO of an oil and gas company based in NewYork but that he lived in Long Beach. He was working in South Africa on a project. He told sent her numerous lovely emails proclaiming his love for her. He did give her his phone number. They would text and email for a few months. They even spoke on the phone. One time they attempted skype but the connection did not work on his end, so he said.

How did he scam her you may ask.

He told her that there was an accident on the rig. That the employees who are poor local laborers were in a hurry to fix the rig before he ” the CEO ” came in and the rushed and ended up having a tragic accident where 3 men died.

He told her that everyone was gathering fund to help the fam of the victims . She gave him 400.00 He got upset when she stopped giving him money and stopped talking to her

PATTY: You are such a liar. Mr. Henry rejected you and that is why you are doing this to him, he never asked you for money and you never sent any money to him….if what you say is true, then show us the prove that you ever sent money to him. You hacked his email account and started stalking him. He has released all your emails to us and we will be publishing it online for people to see who you truly are. YOU ARE A LIAR AND A CHEAT.

I have been scammed by a man he sent me his email address opiumconstruction@outlook.com his name is Robbert Crush. Said we had a great connection and very lovely emails back and forth for a while. He is an only child his parents are Irish and Highland. He is a widower no children. Sent me a lot of pictures of himself. He lives in South Dakota but he is on a 7 month project in South Africa and will be coming back to the States soon. We got to know each other more through emails and then phone calls. Then one day he said he need 7600 US I hold him I didn’t have the money then he asked for 2500 because a friend was sending him 2k. Then I received another email that he was ready to come back to the states but needed money for a ticket home and he would pay me back. I told him again I have no money. I have not heard of him since.

Jaron Eddie using faked pictures of army general. Says he is a surgeon in Iraq and wants to start a foundation for veterans. Says he was wdowed when his daughter was 5. Posts her pictures and pics of him in hospital setting. Will not cntact by phone..says because of security. Wants you to help him get money out of Iraq..calls it spoils of war.

he got me for 300 dollars, same story, I believed him for a yr. until I caught him with a site with a circle of 9 women on google, I made it so bad he had to take it down, but one lady said he took her friend for thousands of dollars, …..

Zoosk is FULL of scammers!!! I get messages from them all the time!!! I have realized that the only men on Zoosk that are real are the ones that will give you there phone number and allow you to text or call them. If they send you a message with a yahoo instant messenger name, that is usually a very good indication they are a scammers out to scam you for whatever!! Don’t do it!! Don’t fall for it!!! Especially CPeddy52!!! He is a major scammer trust me I know!!!

Hi Nancy,
I was deceived by a man called Craig Pedersen,Widowed ,saying he has a Girl 6 years old.He says that He is an Engineer working for USA Army,although his nationality is British.He uses this Email:cpeddy52@yahoo.com,thank You to share Your experience.

Hi ARC,
It looks like you got scammed by the same idiot i did, I just hope enough of us can get together and stop this guy from doing this!!! Who knows how many more are like you and I and believed in this and fell for his lies. Sorry for your bad experience also and thank’s for replying.
